Team Commandos succumbed to find the net till the first half ended. The initial 45 minutes concluded with Soans’ solitary goal. The second half began with a slow start from both ends.

Durga Mhatre scored a reliever at the 81st minute and then Kashish found the net twice at the dying moments of the match.
